Cable Types
Features:
Our fiber optic cables can be ordered in
multiple configurations. There are three ba- • Fiber Cables for installation
sic jacket types and 4 types of fiber cable. and tactical applications
The three jacket types are: • Total immunity to electrical
interference
• PVC - While PVC stands for Polyvinyl
Chloride, much of todays fiber is being • A variety of cable and connector
replaced by halogen free alternatives. options
In our application PVC is a general term
used to describe a standard, lightweight
flexible jacket used for general purpose Installation
installation applications. Fiber shown

• Plenum - Plenum rated jackets are designed for
installation in air handling areas. When burned,
the jacket does not release toxic gasses. Plenum
jackets tend to be a little stiffer than PVC.
• Tactical - The tactical fiber we offer is a heavy
glossy jacketed, 'breakout' cable. Each fiber
strand is bundled with kevlar yarn and individu-
ally jacketed. All of those individual jackets are then bundled with more kevlar yarn and wrapped in
a ruggedized rubber outer jacket. This is our most durable fiber for ourdoor and portable applica-
tions.
The4 fiber type designations OM1, OM2, OM3, OS1 and OS2 relate to cable transmission perfor-
mance. In ISO/IEC 11801:2002 and EN50173:2002, four types of optical fibre are specified to support
various classes of applications, three multimode optical fiver types (OM1, OM2, and OM3) and one
single mode type (OS1). Tables in the specification section detail these performance differences.
• OM1 fiber optic cable is the optical fiber cable with traditional 62.5/125 multimode fiber. OM1
cable optical fiber is bigger core diameter; it makes the OM1 fiber better ability on concentrating
the light and bend-resistance.
• OM2 fiber optic cable refer to the commonly used 50/125 traditional multimode fiber cable. OM2
is a standard for multimode cable defined by ISO/IEC 11801. OM1 and OM2 are both orange jack-
eted cable, and you cannot judge from the outer diameter to identify OM1 and OM2 fiber cable,
because the 50/125 and 62.5/125 refer not to whole cable diameter but to the fiber inside.
• OM3 is also 50/125 multimode fiber and provides the highest bandwidth capability of the three
multimode cables. It is compliant to ISO/IEC 11801 standardsand has been developed according
to the newest 10Gbit standards allowing the data transmission over a distance up to max 300 m at
850 nm using a VCSEL .
• OS1 fiber optic cable is the commonly used 9/125 single mode fiber cable. OS1 fiber cable
standard was described in ISO/IEC 11801. OS1 fiber optic cables are widely used in telecommuni-
cations, data center and WAN. OS1 fiber cable products are both indoor types and outdoor types.
Typical OS1 fiber optic cables are indoor types with yellow jacket color, the ones like you see on the
fiber patch cables.
We can terminate your fiber cable in all of the standard connector types, see ordering chart for a list
of connector options.
